The ICQ beta version has entered the final debugging stage.
In the senior management conference room of Longteng Group, the engineering department, marketing department, product department, quality inspection department, and project department were all on high alert.
"Everyone is here." Chen Dong looked around, his expression serious.
"I hereby declare that ICQ Company is officially established!"
"victory!"
The room erupted in applause! The executives nodded frequently and congratulated each other.
“Everyone, quiet down,” Annie interrupted the revelry, smiling as she said, “The big boss has something to say.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Dong.
"The success of this project is largely thanks to everyone's hard work these past few days." Chen Dong seemed relieved, his tone much lighter. "I know there are no similar projects in the industry right now."
"Back then, my high standards and strict requirements caused the engineering and technical departments to lose a lot of hair..."
"Ha ha ha ha--"
After he finished speaking, the engineers unconsciously scratched their heads amidst laughter.
"But! Hard work pays off! Our engineering and technical departments completed this project without any technical or design references, completely by trial and error, and they did a fantastic job!"
“Everyone has had one question all along,” Chen Dong said, looking at the old guys in the engineering department, “that is, why I have to be in such a rush, even if it means having everyone work overtime, to develop ICQ.”
At this moment, everyone in the engineering department fell silent.
Working overtime is their nightmare.
Since joining the ICQ project, none of them have been getting more than five hours of sleep a day.
"Although this is a brand new project, we are now in the early days of the Internet. What you can develop, others can also develop, and they may even develop a better version than you."
Chen Dong explained, "For a product to succeed, the right timing, the right location, and the right people are all indispensable."
"The most important thing is this 'timing'. On the internet, customers won't have the patience to watch your project's development from start to finish. If your project launches later than similar products, then it's considered plagiarism!"
"If a product launches late, it loses its number one position!"
When Chen Dong got serious, he radiated energy, and Annie's gaze was immediately drawn to him.
"Sony is a prime example," Chen Dong recalled, describing how it was incredibly close to launching a new product on the same day as Sony.
"Our MP3 project was launched on the same day as Sony's, which is a stroke of luck. What if it had been a day later?"
"Then it wouldn't be the first MP3 player. If it were three months or a year later, it would be directly judged as plagiarism."
Previously, no one understood why Chen Dong was always in such a rush, forcing them to work themselves to the bone for the project. Now, after hearing Chen Dong's words, everyone began to understand.
"I know that the engineering and technical departments have been working themselves to the bone for the new project these past few months."
Chen Dong looked at them and announced directly at the meeting, "From now on, you don't need to keep an eye on the test version data. I'm giving you a month of paid leave."
"Long live the boss!"
The engineering and technical departments were overjoyed and cheered.
"I've asked the product team to keep an eye on this," Chen Dong said, turning to the product team.
"ah--"
The product department was devastated.
"Don't worry, all three departments will receive bonuses. We'll distribute the bonuses together when the engineering and technical staff return from their vacations," Chen Dong added.
"Thank you, boss!"
On an ordinary day, Chris created a new section in the iPod online community called "The Rise of ICQ".
In that section, Chris released the ICQ beta version.
At the same time, an account named "icq official" appeared on overseas electronics forums and gaming forums, releasing the same beta version of the program.
The beta version of the digital interface has several lines of large text:
Dear users, this is the initial version of the ICQ program, which is currently in the testing phase. All users who see this test version are free to download and use it.
After a month of testing, the beta version of the program will be officially launched.
We promise that ICQ, as an online dating app, will be permanently free once it is launched.
"What's going on?! Longteng Electronics has released another new product?"
The iPod online community is buzzing, with the "ICQ Rise" section quickly making it to the top of the homepage.
"It's not a new product, it's new software," someone commented online.
"By the way, it seems it's not Longteng Electronics, it's an independent company called ICQ," another person added.
Chris watched as the page views increased, causing a temporary lag.
At this point, someone finally noticed that the person who posted this section was Chris.
This well-known group leader on iPod has organized several offline marches for iPod.
Creating a new section on an iPod requires administrator authorization. Why was Chris able to create a new section on his iPod?
More and more people were calling for Chris, but Chris arrived late.
"Everyone, I recently joined Longteng and am now a full member of the company."
Overseas fans familiar with Chris Evans offered their congratulations, saying, "Looks like Chris got his dream come true?!"
The most successful electronics enthusiasts are undoubtedly those who infiltrate research and development companies and personally participate in product development.
